386 Jinabhadra Gani's
[The seventh heaven laid down as a result of the rites like agnihotra etc. in the sentences such as ” Agnihotram juhuyāt svargakāmaḥ " etc. as well as, the fruition of sacrifices and meritorious deeds like dāna etc prescribed in deeds like däna etc. prescribed in this world, would become absolutely futile. Thus, in absence of svargin-the inhabitant of svarga-how is svarga to exist ?
Hence O Maurya ! take it for certain that sentences such as “ Sa eşa yajñāyudhi ” etc. are laid down to establish the existence of gods, while the sentence “ Ko jānāti māyopaman gîrvūņånindra-Yama-Varuna-Kubérādin etc. does not lead to deny the existence of gods, but it only means to assert the a-nilyatā of the prosperity of gods and the rest. Otherwise, the sentences which establish the existence of guds, as well as, the invocation of gods like Indra by means of reciting the prescribed mantras, would be of no avail. 11 334 11 ( 1882 )

Trans.--335 ( The statement that ) one conquers the regions of ( the gods of ) Death, Moon, Sun, and Brihaspati etc., and the invocation of Indra etc by reciting the preseribed mantras, would be absolutely null and void. ( 1883 )
